Benchmark Senior Living at Robbins Brook offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care on one campus, allowing residents to transition between service levels without moving elsewhere. The community is equipped to handle complex medical and behavioral needs including wandering (day or night), elopement risk, combative or other challenging behaviors, oxygen therapy, special diets, support for younger adults under 60, and diabetics on oral medications. Its Memory Care program is structured for advanced dementia, combining secure environments with staff trained to manage cognitive decline. For residents who need help with daily tasks, caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can manage transfers ranging from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift support, including bed-bound care.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked employees work all shifts, and an awake night team monitors residents while security personnel remain on site around the clock. Each apartment is equipped with a pull-cord alert system, and personal emergency response systems can notify staff or directly contact 911. On-site medical services include podiatry, audiology, dental care, and a therapy room, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric conditions. These medical and safety features are designed to reduce the need for outside appointments and to respond quickly to health changes.
Accommodation options range from studios to larger apartments. Depending on the unit, features may include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, furnished or unfurnished layouts, individual climate controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, and Independent Living residents can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan. Not every apartment contains every amenity, so prospective residents should verify specific features during a tour.
Dining services include a set menu of chef-prepared meals, an on-order alternative menu, all-day snacks, and the option for in-room dining. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team accommodates diet modifications such as gluten-free, puréed, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered restrictions, and residents in Independent Living can choose a monthly meal plan that matches their lifestyle and budget.
Residents have access to on-site parking, smoking areas outdoors, and a pet-friendly policy; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The building is wheelchair accessible and features a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, stair glide, concierge desk, library, and a variety of special-interest clubs. Transportation options include scheduled shuttle trips for medical appointments and a town car service for personal errands.
